Abstract
An augmented reality system can include a headset frame wearable by a user. A window disposed in or on the headset frame can include adjacent first and second window regions. When the headset frame is worn by the user, a field of view of an eye of the user can extend through at least part of the first window region. A camera can be disposed in or on the headset frame. When the headset frame is worn by the user, the camera can have a field of view that is directed away from the user and through the second window region. A controllably dimmable filter can be located adjacent to the window in the field of view of the eye and the field of view of the camera. The controllably dimmable filter can have a controllable opacity that determines a visibility of the camera through the second window region.
